The 127 Hours Band

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] The pressure is too much! The schedule is too grueling! The fans are too mean!

The fact that this singer is gone is not shocking to us, and it should not be shocking to you. We’ve been telling you this would happen for a long time. His unhealthy habits render him completely unable to handle any work or travel or publicity or stress in a rational and healthy way.

He wants to pretend he quit? Fine. Let him pretend he quit and that it was his decision. He actually got fired.

Why? Because this is a business, and a business decision had to be made. The band has to maintain a certain image to be successful, and that image definitely does not include what he has become.

THE DR*GS HAVE TAKEN OVER HIS LIFE! He has gotten thinner and thinner, he can’t even pretend to be in a stable relationship, he can’t control his outbursts, he can’t do his job, he can’t pass a dr*g test, and he can’t get insurance. He had to go.

In 127 Hours, James Franco’s character had to cut off a significant part of his body to save his life. In this case, they had to cut out one significant part of the group to save the whole band.

Frankly, his band mates are relieved that he is gone. And you should be, too. He gets to live… and so does the band.
